See how bar models can support pupils to find the value of the whole when you've been told the value of a fraction. 

Using Bar Model With Fractions to Work Out the Value of the Whole

Misconceptions unfortunately abound with fractions. In this video, we summarise a few of the common ones and look at ways that you can help address them in your classroom.

Everything you need to know about planning for Mastery in the crucial final year of primary school. From former Maths Lead and current Year 4 teacher, Rebecca Jakes

Planning for Mastery in Year 6

Deputy Head Peter Richardson talks through the four key ingredients for success when leading Maths in a primary school.

Leading Mathematics: 4 Steps to Success

Once pupils have been introduced to simple equivalent fractions and common families of equivalent fractions, they'll be able to start spotting patterns and you can introduce the idea of finding equivalent fractions using multiplication. Watch this video to see how multiplication is important when finding equivalent fractions. 

How to Find Equivalent Fractions Using Multiplication

A good place to start when introducing equivalent fractions is to look at examples of parts of shapes. See how you can do this with your pupils in this short clip.

How to Find Equivalent Fractions Using Parts of Shapes

To help pupils understand fractions, concrete and pictorial examples are essential. Watch this short video to pick up a few different practical ways of representing them.

Fractions: Practical Ideas and Resources

Fractions can be a challenging concept for pupils to grasp, this video gives a brief overview of the different types of fractions and some basic representations.

Fractions: An Introduction

Percentages

Using a problem set in a football context we explore how pupils can solve problems involving multiple steps and which require an understanding of percentages.

Bar Models for More Challenging Percentage Problems (Exceeding)

In this video we look at how pupils can find a percentage of a total amount, using bar models to help represent this. The question involves all four operations and it is a good one for KS2.

How to Use Bar Models to Solve Percentage Problems

Pupils are introduced to percentages in Year 5. In this video we look at a more complex problem involving percentages and a comparison. As usual with comparison problems, bar models are a great way for pupils to work out what calculations they need to do. 

How to Use Bar Models to Solve Problems Involving Percentages

Ratio and Proportion

This worded problem involves ratio, addition and subtraction. The problem is a little more complex initially but using bar models will help pupils to understand what they need to do to find the answer. 

How to Use Bar Models to Solve More Challenging Ratio Problems

We use an example of ratios in baking to explore how bar models can represent ratios. This example involves calculations with decimals so is more appropriate for upper KS2.

Multiplication

We look at finding an unknown value in a problem question. This question involves multiple steps and demonstrates how bar models can help pupils understand what they need to do to find an answer.

How to Use Bar Models to Solve a More Challenging Multi Step Multiplication Problem

This short video looks at how pupils can use bar models to solve multi-step worded problems involving multiplication. See how pupils can use a comparison model to help represent the steps they need to take.

How to Use Bar Models to Solve a Multi Step Worded Multiplication Problem

Bar models provide a good way to reinforce the concept of "groups of" or "lots of" in problem solving involving multiplication. In this video we work through an worded problem question involving multiplication.
